ALBANY -- Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo offered the first detailed glimpse at his brain trust Thursday, naming economic advisers who will guide him through his transition amid pressure to make sure his administration reflects New York's diversity.

People familiar with the Democrat's rise to power say aides to his father, Gov. Mario Cuomo, are playing a major role, and their presence in the advisory group shows an appreciation for the seasoned even as Cuomo has spoken of the need to attract "talent" back to government as he seeks to "recalibrate" state agencies and programs.

"Fiscal reform will be a top priority of my administration," Cuomo said. "We must overhaul our government, clean it up and pare it down while simultaneously putting New Yorkers back to work and making New York once again the jobs capital of the nation."
